I seemed to had an over heat issue. So what does any self respecting geek do? Find an IR cam.
I did find the hot spot and corrected it in the Linux machine. the rest is playing around. Turning fans off and see how hot stuff gets. At one point my (machines) had no air movement inside them. I wanted to see how hot they got. Not just what a sensor told me.
This is a wonderful tool to find hot spots. Though it to anyone that has never used one before can seem tricky or not very cool. The camera I was using, showed a cross hair for specific targeting of areas. It is not totally exact. It is on this camera called apparent deflection. Least what I was told..I was not allowed not run the camera. Since when it was new. It cost $25,000. So all I did was enjoy pointing at spots and hoping it came out sweet.
I did snap some control images with my camera. So it can everyone can see what the actual images are also included. A shot of about what is being shown, black and white, then the themal color IR images, for each machine. I liked the color since it showed more detail and did not make things invisible.
Since I had an Ir cam here at home. Thought I would look at my other machine too.
Since I am in the US. The camera showed the visible ranges in the scale of F not C.
Here is a converter for your use. 100° fahrenheit is equal to 37.78° celsius.
Here is some shots of the actual camera we used.
